Out & About San Diego with Jim Frimmer, Your Mission Valley Realtor — Have your Thanksgiving feast at the San Diego Zoo or the Safari Park!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so if you don't have any sort of panache for cooking a feast for yourself and others, I can highly recommend any of three Thanksgiving feasts at the San Diego Zoo or the Safari Park:

• Treetops Thanksgiving Buffet, San Diego Zoo
  Turkey, prime rib, salads, artisan breads, side dishes, and a dessert bar at the Treetops Banquet Room.
  $42.95 for adults, $15.95 for children 11 and under
  Plus cost of admission to the Zoo for non-members

• Albert's Thanksgiving Dinner, San Diego Zoo
  Noon to 4:00 p.m.
  Enjoy an eye-opening, mouth-watering, stomach-filling, three-course Thanksgiving at Albert's Restaurant. Turkey, prime rib, blackened salmon, vegetable lasagna, salads, soups, cheesecake, and chocolate cake.

• Hunte Nairobi Pavilion Thanksgiving Buffet, Safari Park
